This little parish hath but one manor in it, and that is called by its own name.
THE EDITOR.
In the valuation of Pope Nicholas the taxation is £1, the tenths nothing.
This parish has but two villages, the Church Town and Tregenna.
The manor of Lamoran, including the whole parish, has passed through various families; Halep and Trevenor, from that family by coheiresses to Roscarrack and Chamond, then Vermans and Sparks, and Molesworths, from whom by purchase, it passed to Boscawen. The advowson is an appendage to the manor.
The church is said to be most curiously situated on the edge of the river, and with a tower more venerable than itself, at a certain distance from it.
The church has some monuments to the Vermans. Their old manor house is fallen into decay.
This parish measures 1130 statute acres.
